Virginia’s journey into the limelight began when she was discovered at a young age while waiting at a bus stop. Initially venturing into the world of fashion modeling, she graced numerous magazine covers in Australia and the UK, thereby flourishing financially. Her foray into acting commenced with television commercials, subsequently leading to engagements in television and film. Notably, she appeared in 57 advertisements before transitioning to other ventures. One noteworthy milestone in her early career was her appearance in The Buggles’ “Video Killed the Radio Star” music video, which was the first music video broadcast on MTV in 1981.
Her career gained significant momentum following her portrayal of the Warrior Woman in “Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior”. This post-apocalyptic film, starring Mel Gibsen, showcased a community confronting a band of marauders, epitomizing the Western Frontier film style. Virginia’s net worth received another boost when she featured in the James Bond film “The Living Daylights”, the 15th installment in the “James Bond” film series. She portrayed Zhaan in the series “Farscape” and earned a nomination for a Saturn Award for Best Supporting Actress owing to her exceptional performance. However, health concerns forced her departure from the show during its third season due to the adverse effects of the makeup on her kidneys!
In addition to her notable roles, Virginia has graced several soap operas, including “Prisoner (Cell Block H)”, “Neighbours”, “E Street”, and “Pacific Drive” where she portrayed Margaux Hayes, with many of these soap operas achieving acclaim in Australia.
She also established her own company, White Flower Lie, specializing in manufacturing soaps and perfumes. Furthermore, she imparts meditation lessons and holds certification in natural therapy.
Regarding her personal life, it is known that Virginia had a relationship with the late Michael Hutchence, but information about any current romantic involvement remains undisclosed.
Virginia currently resides in the UK, where she continues to teach meditation and operates her personal website promoting her therapy classes and products.
